The questions of the history of the occurrence of the problem of shelf glaciation or “drift” accumulation of boulder-bearing sediments are considered in detail. The results of seismic-acoustic studies and their interpretation with the aim of seismic stratigraphic and genetic partition of the cover of loose sediments of Quaternary age are considered in detail. Arguments are presented in favor of the continental origin of glaciers (Novaya Zemlya, Ostrovnoy and Scandinavian), which in the late Neopleistocene spread to the shelf of the Barents Sea and occupied its surface to depths of 120−150 m. Further development of glaciation was already due to the expansion of the area of shelves glaciers. The facies zoning of glacial-marine deposits is estimated, which is related to the distance from the front of the glaciers. It is concluded that already at the end of the Late Pleistocene, most of the modern Barents Sea was free from glaciers and from the annual cover of pack ice. Data on the absence of the area distribution of frozen sediment strata within the modern Barents Sea shelf are presented.","PeriodicalId":140472,"journal":{"name":"THE BARENTS SEA SYSTEM","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117094291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unit 3 presumably characterizes proglacial environments of the early deglaciation (tentatively older than 15 ka) and is represented by relatively fine-grained, dark grey sediment matrix with numerous coarse terrigenous clasts. The unit contains low in diversity and concentration pollen assemblage, which is dominated by reworked, mostly Mesozoic pollen and sparse dinocysts of a cryophylic species Islandinium var. minutum. Unit 2 represents later deglacial conditions (estimated ca 12-15 ka) and is composed of finely laminated, grey to brownish sandy/silty muds with coarse clasts interpreted as iceberg-rafted debris. It is characterized by pollen assemblage zone with a low concentration of plant remains, a significant proportion of reworked pre-Cenozoic microfossils and club mosses among spores as well as a high percentage of dwarfBetula, Poaceae and Artemisia Islandinium var. minutum dominates among the aquatic palynomorphs. Unit 1, younger than ca 12 ka, is composed of soft, olive-grey mud with traces of bioturbations and spots of hydrotroilite at the top or sandy-silty mud within the South-Novozemelskii Trough and sand with inclusions of pebbles and broken shells within the Kanin Plateau. Three pollen assemblage zones correspond to it. They are marked by a high percentage of birch and pine pollen, an increased share of pollen of spruce and alder, as well as Sphagnum mosses and ferns. Constant presence of sparse pollen of broad-leaved plants in combination with peak values of Operculodinium centrocarpum and Spiniferites sp. testify the enhancement of Atlantic water influence upon the studied regions.","PeriodicalId":140472,"journal":{"name":"THE BARENTS SEA SYSTEM","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114713468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of biogeochemical processes in the Barents Sea was carried out from 1997 with interruptions until 2019. Using a complex of geological-geochemical, microbiological, radioisotope and stable isotope methods, it was possible to obtain a quantitative estimate of the total abundance and biomass of microorganisms, rates of biogeochemical processes, methane content and organic matter suspended. In the course of work in four expeditions, it was found that in the surface (0–10 m) water column south of 74° N the magnitude of the total abundance and the biomass of microorganisms increased by 2019 by about 5 times compared to 1998. To the north, in colder waters, the total abundance and the biomass of organisms were lower than in the southern region of the sea. The methane concentration in the surface layer of the water column at the border with the atmosphere did not change much for 20 years (1976–1997) and increased noticeably from 1997 to 2017, from 3.3 to 15.8 nM. The increase in FFM, the biomass of organisms and the concentration of methane in the water column is associated with the melting of glaciers, with the release of organic matter of continental origin released from ice into the water.
